I bet you cant have just one!!!. This sure is a very yummy and addictive treat!! They are made using a rosette iron, its called 'achi' in tamil. Click here to buy one. It is a traditional classic recipe. We as a family would make huge batches for Christmas. We used to have over 100 people visiting us for Christmas. It was a tedious process but it sure was worthwhile.
